I should also note that the socialized housing in Vienna is not something that's just for poor people. People from every social class use it, and it's typically quite well maintained and high quality housing.
The nice thing about trying to follow Vienna's implementation too is that even at the very start, the city can help a lot of people by providing cheap, secure socialized housing to them, even if it will take a long time to benefit renters in the rest of the city.
I think this is a really nice example of how socialized policies can work really well when those socialized policies are aimed at taking advantage of market mechanisms, rather than resisting those market mechanisms.
